Suffragist Lucie has finally achieved a major goal for the cause: she's the new co-owner of a publishing house, meaning she can now publish a treatise arguing for the rights of married women to own property. But before she's even set up her office at the company, a major block has been placed in her path — the other co-owner, notorious womanizer and Lucie's longtime nemesis, Lord Ballentine. But he has his own problems, including a horrendous father who is holding Ballentine's mother as hostage until the lothario chooses a wife. Will the pair learn to work together and solve their problems?
This is a fantastic historical romance novel, with complex lead characters, believable challenges between them, and great chemistry. Dunmore obviously did plenty of research on the plight of women in the Victorian era, which provides a firm structure on which to hang this enemies-to-lovers story. And there are cats! What more could you ask for?
